Step 01

Intake and scope

Scope, format, deadline and glossary are agreed in writing at intake, so nothing is renegotiated later and the brief is fully documented.

Step 02

Terminology preparation

A project glossary is locked before drafting, so sector terms stay consistent across the whole file and future revisions.

Step 03

Translation

A domain translator drafts your file against the locked glossary, preserving layout, register and the exact wording of the source.

Step 04

Second-reader review

A separate linguist verifies terminology, numbers, dates and names line by line, never the original translator.

Step 05

Formatting and delivery

Fonts, tables, headers and numbering are rebuilt to match the source, and the final file is checked against it before it ships.
